Instant Ice Cream

I love ice creams and so do my kids. During summers, we like to have popsicles, ice cream sandwiches, cone ice creams etc. almost every day. Myself and kids equally enjoy making our own frozen treats often. I have already shared different popsicle varieties.

Since I do not have an ice cream maker at home, I never used to try making ice creams until I came across this instant ice cream made with just 2 ingredients. Yes... that's right, just a couple of easily available ingredients is all you need. You need to mix it well and just freeze it. No ice cream machine required. After few hours of freezing, you can enjoy soft and creamy home made ice cream. You should try it our yourself to believe.

Below I have given the basic vanilla ice cream as well as a few possible variations that can be made. I am sure a ton of other flavors can be made by playing around with different ingredients. Be sure to make it and stay cool this summer.

Recipe for Instant Ice Cream

Preparation time: 5 minutes
Cooking time: NIL
Serves: 4

Ingredients

Method

Before starting, place a big bowl, whipping blades,cream and the condensed milk can in the fridge. It really helps to speed up the whipping when all the ingredients are chilled, especially in hot places.

Pour out the cream into the bowl. In India, you get it as whipping cream or full fat cream. Do not use the low fat cream.

Beat it using a hand mixer or a stand mixer or the whipping mixie jar until stiff peaks are formed. It is very difficult to beat with a hand held whisk.

Add the sweetened condensed milk to this. Continue beating again until it blends well. It will become smooth and creamy.

Strawberry Ice Cream: Make a strawberry puree using about 8 strawberries, 1/2 cup of water and 2 tbsp of sugar. Take 2 cups of the base ice cream and mix in 1/2 cup of strawberry puree before freezing.

Mango Ice Cream: Use store bought mango puree or make one at home using 1 ripe mango. Mix 1/4 cup of mango puree with 2 cups of base ice cream. Also mix in 1/4 cup of chopped mango pieces.
